RAMALLAH ECCO Mens Soft 7 Perf Tie Moon Rock Sale , April 9 (Xinhua) -- Dozens of Palestinians demonstrated on Thursday against a marathon organized by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, according to witnesses.

The Palestinian demonstrators gathered on the main road that links the West Bank city of Ramallah with its northern city of Nablus to protest against the marathon organized on the eve of the Jewish holidays.

Eyewitnesses said that Israeli soldiers fired tear gas canisters and rubber bullets to disperse the demonstrators, who tried to reach the city of Nablus and were joined by international solidarity movement activists.

Walid Assaf, one of the protesters and head of the Palestinian committee to resist the wall and settlements, condemned the marathon in the West Bank for disturbing the Palestinian traffic and free movement.

"We express our protest and rejection to the Israeli measures of letting the illegal settlers violate the international law, enter our territories freely and prevent the Palestinians from moving on their land ECCO Mens Soft 7 Premium Boots Whisky Sale ," said Assaf.

Meanwhile, Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian official in charge of settlements affairs in the West Bank told Xinhua that the Israeli authorities closed the road between Ramallah and Nablus and prevented the free movement of Palestinians.

"Closing the main road aims at protecting the settlers who joined the marathon which kicked off from the settlement of Areil near Ramallah to the settlement of Shilo near Nablus," said Daghlas.

Since 1967, around half a million Israeli settlers have been living in 120 settlements built up allover the West Bank, where lives 2.7 million Palestinians.

LONDON ECCO Irving Fisherman Sandals Black Sale , May 3 (Xinhua) -- Older people should play active video games to boost their brain health, a study by academics at the University of Manchester showed Wednesday.

A study found that active gaming is good for brain health and memory and video games which involve physical activity significantly boost our brain health as people get older, experts found.

Study authors Dr Emma Stanmore and Joseph Firth say systems that use physical activity for gaming, such as Wii and Xbox Kinect, can boost brain functioning in people with neurological impairment, as well as keeping minds healthy and active as people age.

Their results have been published in the journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, describing what was a collaboration between the University of Manchester, King's College London, KU Leuven and ETH Zurich.

"Various neurological conditions such Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia can also impede people's cognitive functioning and reduce their ability to function day to day.

"Recently, there has been much interest in using active video games in the rehabilitation of these conditions, and to promote healthy aging.

"So we were fascinated to learn that the available evidence shows how these sort of games can significantly improve overall cognitive functioning ECCO Mens Yucatan Sandals Tarmac Sale , and is particularly beneficial for attention, executive functioning and visuospatial abilities.

"Physically-active video games have, according to our research, greater impact on brain functioning than regular physical activity alone, suggesting that their benefits are more than just moving around."

Dr Stanmore has just completed a randomised controlled trial in 18 sites in Manchester and Glasgow.

The trial showed that MIRA games improved balance, pain and fear of falling after 12 weeks' use.

She said: "Our research shows the potential of active video games that can be used independently at home and remotely supervised by therapists .

"The brain benefits may be because these activities are physically demanding ECCO Mens Yucatan Sandals Black Mole Sale , while also requiring concentration and cognitive effort, resulting in positive effects for body and brain.

"We hope this research will encourage the NHS (Britain's National Health Service) and social services to take up active gaming as part of their support packages, as some are already starting to do."
